I used this extension for a school site. It has a section for parents of which teachers edit part (class pages). Also the school secretary can make minor edits on the front end. I wanted parents going to the parents section, teachers going directly to their class pages, and the secretary going to the home page. This extension did the job perfectly, easily and in a very short time. Congratulations on very useful extension.

This excellent extension solves a problem which needs solving and does it brilliantly. What really makes this extension special is the support from the developer. Really great experience. The support was exceptional and outstanding. All your redirect problems are solved right here. Many thanks.

I just needed to redirect to the current page after login from a module. It seems like an obvious feature but I didn't see a way to do it in Joomla 2.5. This took me about 1 minute to install and configure and it works with both the joomla login module and the k2 tools login module.

I had been struggling with trying to get the mod_login to redirect to my Jomsocial Frontpage (further complicated by having Akeebasubs). I had tried settings in the module itself, in Jomsocial configs, the Jomsocial redirect module and another third party redirect that crashed my site.

I finally decided to give this one a go and wished I had tried it first. It installed easily, set up was a breeze and - wonder of wonders - it redirected users straight off.

I am a Joomla novice and it is extensions like this that save my sanity! Thanks a thousand!

Plugin to display plugin code, without executing the code.
syntax:
{spic}{plugin code}{/spic}
This plugin needs to be loaded before the plugin which code you want to display. So adjust order in the plugin manager (filter on 'content'), make sure the order has a number (not '0').
This project is an official fork of SPIC for Joomla 1.5: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/edition/code-display/11369 from MediaEventi:

With Frontend-User-Access you can set frontend access restrictions to:
components
articles (specific articles)
part of articles and templates

You can make as many usergroups as you need and assign users to them. There are 2 predefined usergroups which are very userfull:
'not logged in'
'logged in but not assigned to any usergroup'
Users can be assigned to multiple groups.
You can configure for each restriction-type (components, articles etc.) to reverse the access, so any box ticked becomes a restriction instead of an access-right.

This administrator module displays the CORRECT number of logged in users. Frontend and backend.
Like Joomla's module 'user status' (modstatus), but then better. You can set the number of minutes of the users last activity. So it does not count the ghost-users of uncleared sessions like 'user status' (modstatus).
This module should be published to the administrator module position 'status'.

Admin Messages

This administrator module shows the number of unread messages. With blink (optional).
